http_server.max_decoded_body_size goes through flb_utils_size_to_bytes() which returns a signed value, but it's stored in a size_t. So something like -5M wraps to a huge number and only the -1 parse error (SIZE_MAX) was being rejected - every other negative value quietly turned off the decoded body limit.
This makes init reject any value that came from a negative size, same as an unparseable one. Kept it scoped to this option rather than changing the generic config map, since other size options might rely on the current behavior.
Added an internal test; flb-it-http_server passes locally and the new test fails without the fix.
HTTP server initialization now rejects negative decoded request body size limits and limits outside the supported range. Previously, some invalid values could be accepted, leaving the server configured with an unusable limit. Invalid settings now cause initialization to fail instead of being accepted.
flb_utils_size_to_bytes() returns a signed value, but the config map
stores size options in a size_t. A negative value such as -5M wraps
around to a huge limit, and only the -1 parse error (SIZE_MAX) was
rejected, so most negative values silently removed the decoded body
limit.
Treat any value that came from a negative size as invalid so startup
fails the same way it does for unparseable values.

The HTTP server now rejects max_decoded_body_size values above SIZE_MAX >> 1 during initialization. A registered test verifies that a value converted from -5M causes initialization to fail.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 79df6
Valid decoded-body limits such as 3 GiB now prevent startup on 32-bit deployments. Correct validation before merging to preserve supported positive configurations.

Explanation
The title names the main change: the http_server code now rejects negative max_decoded_body_size values. The raw summary says the init check now rejects values above the size_t sign bit, and the added test covers a negative limit. The objectives match this scope, so the title is fully related to the changeset.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#12757] The objective is to reject negative http_server.max_decoded_body_size values at init, the same way unparseable values are rejected. The reviewed head changes the check in flb_http_server_init_with_options() (src/http_server/flb_http_server.c, around line 1411) from '== SIZE_MAX' to '> (SIZE_MAX >> 1)'. A negative value from flb_utils_size_to_bytes() becomes a size_t with the high bit set on both 32-bit and 64-bit targets. For -5M, the value is 2^64 - 5000000 on LP64 and 2^32 - 5000000 on ILP32. Both are above SIZE_MAX >> 1, so both return -1 with the existing 'invalid http_server.max_decoded_body_size' error. The previous FAIL depended on a width-specific int64_t cast. That dependence is removed. The unparseable value (-1 to SIZE_MAX) is still rejected. The 0 value still maps to the default before this check. The new test test_http_server_rejects_negative_decoded_body_limit (tests/internal/http_server.c) uses the same conversion and expects -1, so it does not depend on the target width. Non-blocking note: the new check also rejects positive values above SIZE_MAX >> 1. On 64-bit this has no practical effect. On 32-bit, positive values from 2 GiB to 4 GiB - 1 that were previously accepted are now rejected. The issue does not ask for that behavior change, and the PR does not mention it. The issue requirement for negative values is met.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The reviewed diff from merge base fc966e9 to head 79df694 has two files. (1) src/http_server/flb_http_server.c: the check change is limited to the max_decoded_body_size validation in flb_http_server_init_with_options(). It implements #12757. The generic config map is not modified. (2) tests/internal/http_server.c: the flb_utils.h include, the new negative-limit test, and its TEST_LIST entry support the same objective. The include is needed for flb_utils_size_to_bytes(). No unrelated change is present. The sign-bit comparison matches the commit message and the PR description. The broader concern about other FLB_CONFIG_MAP_SIZE options is context from the issue, not a requirement of this PR.

Validate negative sizes correctly on 32-bit builds
On 32-bit targets, including the Windows x86 configuration in .github/workflows/call-windows-unit-tests.yaml:37-41, converting -5M to size_t produces 4289967296. Casting that value to int64_t leaves it positive, so neither rejection condition matches and initialization returns 0. Consequently, the newly added http_server_rejects_negative_decoded_body_limit test fails on this supported build, while negative limits remain accepted. Validate the signed parsed value before narrowing it to size_t, or otherwise make the rejection width-aware.

Add a startup test for a non-sentinel negative limit.
The new test passes -5M directly to the initializer. The startup test uses -1, which exercises the existing SIZE_MAX check. Add -5M to the startup test to cover the new rejection through configuration.

Reject negative limits before conversion to size_t.
On 32-bit targets, -5M becomes 4289967296 before this check. The cast to int64_t stays positive, so the HTTP input can start with an approximately 4 GB decoded-body limit. The new regression test also fails on 32-bit targets. Validate the signed value before conversion.

Reject negative values before size conversion.
If http_server.max_decoded_body_size is -0.5, the size parser truncates it to zero. The server then starts with the default limit instead of rejecting the configuration. Validate the configured value before conversion loses its sign.

Casting size_t to int64_t only looks negative when size_t is 64-bit.
On 32-bit the value zero-extends, so -5M still passed init and the
Windows unit test failed. Compare against the sign bit instead.
